Remember I mentioned that I am yet to land but i stumbled on the info online. The doc says Alberta, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, the Northwest territories all provide full immediate provincial Health insurance coverage to new immigrants upon establishing...

You are right. Manitoba is certainly faster than Saskatchewan but we should not forget there's a big attraction to SINP cos of the boom in the province and the ease with which international students can settle in. I'd still rather wait for SINP and I know there will be some speed as the new...

Hi tinuade, I really would also like to hear from landed seniors but I'll share what i've heard from relatives and friends (i stand to be corrected). There are many quiet cities around Toronto that are good for raising kids, like Missisauga but I also believe Toronto is overcrowded. The...

This wait is getting so verrrrrrrry long! I wonder why the SINP skilled workers are getting more (faster) attention than we are. I guess that's good for them. The good thing about waiting though is it gives more time to save and prepare. There are many exams that one can prepare for before...

AMEN to that!!!

Hi Deeaar, Good to hear you're also well settled. Vernas already said it's a good idea to do a CSC. Could you please advise on anything else that an experienced banker can do before landing in Canada. What about the PMI certification or SAP? Many thanks.

Hi samdahiya44, Please can you share your SINP timeline. Many thanks.

I perfectly agree with you. But remember these guys (especially Filipinos) have a strong sense of community and brotherhood, beside the fact that there are more of them (population). This is why they even speak their language on this forum (AS MUCH AS WE BEG THEM NOT TO!). I'm not sure we can...

The process has been unusually fast for you! Congratulations! Is it the CIO, NS that received or your visa office? Are you aleady in Saskatchewan?

Really glad to hear you landed well! You might want to consider an informal daycare arrangement (you can ask neighbours once u find a good accommodation). I hear that's very common, at least till you're able to secure a space in a proper one. You might also want to consider some kind of naija...

Will start preparing before landing. Many thanks!

Good for you vermas, I'm also a banker and would like to know if I should prepare for the CSC exam before landing early next year though I'm still in the process. What about the SAP certification? Please guide. I'd really love to be well prepared before landing. Many thanks and all the best.

Congratulations, Pa Awoderu. So very happy for you and your child that is starting school in Sept. I guess God really does work all things out pretty well! For our brothers (and sisters) agitating for new things instead of 'okrika'. In my opinion, oyinbo fairly used is a far cry from ours so I...

Verrrry funny!!! hahahahahaha Nice piece... and so very true. Hmmmm

Nice one there! Many thanks for this. I read the whole thing!!!

No response at all. I doubt if they can sincerely answerthat question. My sponsor says it looks like they're overwhelmed. I remain confident that we will hear from them pretty soon and we're sure the number of applicants will greatly reduce going forward.

Hi rainy_june, I think it's okay for you to call. They claim to be nice and receptive. Please also ask for the month they are currently treating as we've had various responses from them. All the best!

Hi Double A, I applied to SINP so i dont have a lot of info on Manitoba. However, Manitoba's nomination process looks like the fastest at the moment. You might also want to consider the Exploratory Visit option. You can check online. All the best!

Congratulations, I know you might have done this before but would you please send a breakdown of your timeline. Your nomination, when u sent to CIO and VO. etc etc.... I guess this process might be faster after all.

Hi tidebreaker, I think that question was meant for me.
